It's great to see talent getting recognition. But honestly, I hope Dharma gives her a substantial role and not just a typical 'heroine' part. Their films can sometimes be style over substance.

Her lineup is insane! Pati Patni Aur Woh 2, Bhooth Bangla with the classic Priyadarshan-Akshay combo... she's having a moment. 2026 is her year for sure.

As someone who enjoys Bollywood from abroad, it's fascinating to see how these production houses are almost like institutions. Her excitement is palpable. Best of luck to her!

Can totally relate to that feeling of growing up on Dharma and YRF films. They define a certain era of Bollywood. Hope she gets to work on something memorable.

More excited for Bhooth Bangla! Priyadarshan, Akshay, Paresh Rawal coming back together is a dream. Hope Wamiqa gets a good comic timing role in that.
